Very good post Mole, and pleased to see you confronting reality. "The only reason we are not in trouble is the highly inflated gas price" - you have never said a truer word - and at the originally company quoted "comfortable" rate of 45p per therm, we would surely have gone to the wall. I raised my concerns regarding the competence of this BOD after the early Spring PIs soiree which was not well attended by posters generally. I asked the persistent question about poor PR and was told by a senior executive that playing good news down was policy as we had no wish to stir up the green lobby or antagonise the anti-fossil fuel brigade. Laughable or what? Then a high profile O & G blogger confided that if AA or a similar suitor were to move in with a bid around the 55p marker it would "sweep away this lot and give the company a chance!" So while the Neros fiddle with their detailed fag packet calculations on future valuations and cash flows, it might be worth remembering that a good - ship, however seaworthy, is only as likely to make port in the hands of a competent crew - and IMHO we don't have one.
